Feb 9, 2010 at 21:04 comment added Qing Liu Scrogneugneu (that's for me). Thanks Arne and Matt. The exercise is completely wrong as explains clearly Matt. If I remember well, originally I though about the case of two smooth curves Y, Z which are finite covers of a smooth curve X. Then $Y\times_X Z\to X$ is <b>ramified</b> at every point $(y,z)$ in the product such that one is étale and the other one is ramified. I don't know how this s.. heu, incorrect statement came.
Feb 9, 2010 at 20:57 comment added Wanderer Yes, that's the point.
Feb 9, 2010 at 20:34 comment added Georges Elencwajg So the exercise is false, or am I missing something?

Feb 9, 2010 at 19:48 comment added Wanderer Thanks. I wondered whether I was missing something; this is exercise 3.11 (page 145) of Liu's book, in which he asks to prove that the result is true - i.e. that $Y \times_X Z \to X$ is always smooth/étale/unramified.
